Spring Break Fun!

-
Thinking back to the lovely Spring Break we had... thought I would post some photos of our time out in Ucluelet.  The views along the lighthouse trail in Ucluelet were spectactular and the beaches were breathtaking. We spend part of one day testing out some boogie boards and Jeff and I could have spent hours out there flopping around in our suits. Hopefully we will get a chance to return in the summer :)

The Incredible Forests of Vancouver Island

How did I not know that the forests on Vancouver Island were so amazing for all of those years?  They're breathtaking! I have only come to love them since I began mountain biking here a year and a half ago but we have been here for almost 12 years and never fully appreciated them. Because you can mountain bike here year round you really get to see the forest morph through the seasons. The colour of the moss changes drastically throughout the year and its brightness is stunning :) When the sun pops through with a little bit of mist up on Mount Work it's magical. I wish I had a photo of the rocks when they're wet.. they are gorgeous and shiny!  If you're looking for peace and tranquility, you will surely find it here 💗

The beautiful world of biking in France

To look at the Dentelles (the lacy mountain range by our town), to think, to listen to music, to listen to the birds, maybe have a little cry if I need to, or even read my book. I always wanted to eat a pain au chocolate up there but never did it... Something about putting a lovely pastry in the back of my biking jersey didn’t appeal to me.   I wish I had though; I could have washed the jersey easily but will never get back the chance to eat the pastry there.   Well...not for a long while at least. Out on the beautiful little roads without cars, the most beautiful shade of blue sky, perfect puffy white clouds floating in the sky, with Ventoux always watching me as I glided bet

Je pense au fleurs

I could write about our transition from life in France to living back in Victoria...about my struggle, about loving mountain biking, about our beautiful kids finding their way with their friends and life here again, about Jeff and I carving out more time to spend together. Maybe I will one day.. but right now I'm just going to post about flowers.  I appreciate nature so much more now... I have always loved flowers but I feel like I have slowed down a bit. Life is now never too busy to stop and smell the flowers - unless I'm trying to get a QOM. 😜 Almost every day I head outside to take flower photos in the yard :)  So there ya go...here are some flower photos.  Favorites: Peonies, irises, poppies, wisteria. lavender
